The Fall Home Show, presented by RE/MAX, returns to the Enercare Centre in Toronto from September 30 to October 2. If you want to find out what’s new in home-related products and services, plan your next renovation or interior design project, and learn from the experts, then be sure to attend this showcase of more than 250 home and lifestyle vendors. Tickets are available at https://torontohomeshows.com/sl/ .

For the first time, RenoMark renovators will team up with Reno+Décor magazine at the Fall Home Show to present a booth called Ask a Professional. Visit the RenoMark side of the booth for a free 15-minute consultation with a RenoMark renovator on renovations and custom home building, then move to the design side to speak with an interior designer or decorator. Together, these professionals can help you figure out how to get started on your house or condo redesign project, how to make your home more energy-efficient, or how to adapt a space to support aging in place.
